    How many times should a world champion fight in a year

    I don't think it's a stretch for a world champion fighter to have three, maybe even four fights in a year. Fighting two times a year is not enough IMO.

    minimum twice.

    once to defend his belt against the #1 guy in his weight class.

    the other to whoever he wishes. someone in another weight class or a big money fight or even a tuneup just to stay in shape.

    as long as he fights the #1 (or #2 or #3 if he has already beaten #1 recently) in his division once a year.

              That is one of the reasons why I enjoy watching Miguel Cotto, ALWAYS comes to fight and gets in the ring 3X a year!

              BRING OUT THE CHAMP!!!!!!

                  They should fight at least three times per year.

                  No one needs more than four months to prepare for a fight. It's just that some of them get lazy.

                  Look up how ofter Harry Greb, Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Robinson used to fight.

                    IMO 3 times a year. They should fight the number 1 contender in there chosen division, then they can fight someone who moves up or down into there division for a big money fight, then fight the new number one contender, thats how it should be
